Will crows gather around a pink or a black fake crow.
Hypothesis: They will gather around the normal black crow.
Procedure: Paint a fake crow pink and place it in an area where crows gather, then take a none painted crow and put it in another. See which one the crows gather around.
Introduction: One day I looked outside, and noticed that the crows were always in a group in one part of the field, and I wondered. "Would they gather around a crow that was a different color.
Materials: Two fake crows,pink spray paint, and a place were crows gather.
Methods: Take your pink crow and place it a good distance from your normal crow. Then whenever you can count the number of crows that are around each of them.
Variables: One of the crows may have been placed near a food source that attracts the crows. They might not notice on of the crows.
Conclusion: It would appear based on the data that I have collected, that the crows are more interested in the fake crow that most resembles a live crow. While it is possible that a number of factors affected which crow they went to, the fact that crows are social animals would suggest that they didn't recognize the pink crow as another crow. It's possible that the crows were going to a certain place for food and they never noticed either of the crows, but that seems unlikely.
